Mémoires du maréchal Marmont, duc de Raguse (7/9) by Marmont
"Mémoires du maréchal Marmont, duc de Raguse (7/9)" by Marmont is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work presents a detailed narrative of the author's experiences and insights during significant events in France from 1792 to 1841, particularly focusing on the political landscape and the Restoration period. The memoirs reflect Marmont's perspectives on various political figures and the complexities of the era, offering readers a personal glimpse into the
challenges faced by France during a time of great upheaval. The opening of the memoirs sets the stage for the tumultuous period of 1814-1815, detailing the author's transition into the Restoration government and his disillusionment with the leaders of that time, especially Talleyrand. Marmont expresses his frustrations regarding the lack of genuine patriotism among the provisional government members and their self-serving motivations, which he believes undermined the nation’s stability. He recounts pivotal moments, such as discussions about the national colors, skirmishes with the military establishment, and the political maneuvering surrounding the return of the Bourbon monarchy, offering insights into the struggles and sentiments of those navigating a fractured political landscape.
